Kanye West tries to spin that Pirate Bay screenshot

Nice tactic, Yeezy.

So remember last week when Kanye West posted a photo of a computer screen that seemed to suggest he was frequenting the file-sharing site Pirate Bay? Yeah, about that.

On his way to a flight out of LAX, West decided to stop and chat with some of TMZ's finest to clear things up: “It’s obviously not my computer,” he said. Obviously, right? West doesn't need to pirate things online, since — as he's clarified — he's plenty rich. It's just his business side that's $53 million in debt.

Anyway: “I took a picture of it in the studio, and then everybody was like, ‘Don’t put that up.’ I was like, ‘Let it go up,'” he explained. Which honestly is just further proof that West is possibly the human being most susceptible to reverse psychology, if you're looking to get him to do something.
